Small Businesses Should Focus on Cyber Security

• Most business, regardless of size, collect, process, and store large amounts of data on computers and other device

• This data could be sensitive information for which unauthorized access or exposure could result in negative consequences if breached

• When this data is transmitted from one device to another while doing business, it is important that this data is protected from cyber attacks

• A cyber breach is not the only way that business data can be compromised. • Physical theft can also result in data breaches when your company data

(computer, server, mobile device, or physical records) is taken without authorization.

Treat physical security with the same level of attention as cyber security. Monitor and restrict access to stored data, enforce strict policies regarding

locking and protecting computers and mobile devices, establish strict policies for data disposal, and train employees to be aware of suspicious activities.

Data Breaches Can Occur Offline Too
